Why Is That Man Digging Up The Road? Sewer Project Begins June 26

ARLINGTON, MA — Beginning today, crews in brightly colored vests or shirts will be working their way through Arlington in an effort to fix the drainage system and make sure the town doesn't get too backed up anymore.

And they'll be around for a while replacing sewer line components and installing manholes.

The program will reduce the amount of groundwater (infiltration) and rainwater (inflow) entering the sewer system. Through this program, sources of Infiltration and Inflow will be identified and removed. When these sources are removed, the quantity of flow entering the Arlington sewer system and the risk of sewer backups and overflows will be reduced.
